The concept of wealth management is not limited to investment portfolio management anymore. Wealthy individuals, families and business owners are increasingly demanding that financial advice be tailored to investments and associated financial goals, access to money, tax planning, and wealth management. With financial matters becoming increasingly related, advisers are increasingly focusing on an individual's overall financial situation instead of looking at individual products or assets in isolation. Technological changes are helping to enable this transition by providing better access to financial information and quicker responses to portfolio monitoring. The human element is still very much an essential factor in the decision-making process for risk, family goals, and shifting financial objectives.
